Describe the inside of a tea room.

Everything is old and muted, but clean. Guests wear dull colors, light is subdued, and tea utensils are ancient heirlooms. Everything is immaculate, for cleaning is part of the art of the tea master. The tea room is also ephemeral, designed for a specific tea-master. Rebuilding and renewal is a part of the tea room and also Japanese culture in general. In this way, the building materials (wood and bamboo, rather than stone) are appropriate. Ideas of renewal are also associated with Zen notions of the body as a temporary temple to house the spirit.
